Editing Receipts

After posting a receipt, you can no longer change the purchase order numbers, template code, or tax group, and you cannot delete any item or additional cost details that were posted with the receipt. You can add new additional cost details and, if the receipt does not reference a purchase order number, you can add item details. In multicurrency ledgers, you cannot edit exchange rates.

If you change receipt quantities, quantities on hand are updated with the changes in Inventory Control.

Job-related changes to receipt quantities will change the committed and actual quantities and costs in Project and Job Costing.

If you edit an existing receipt that was created from a purchase order, you see only the detail lines (from the purchase order) that have a received quantity or have a non-zero amount (other than the received quantity), such as a manual proration or a canceled quantity.

You cannot change the proration or reproration method you assign to any additional cost after you post the receipt. If you need to change the method, either on the receipt or for a return, you post the change as an adjustment in Inventory Control.

Editing receipts after invoicing

Once you have posted an invoice for the primary vendor, all the vendor's details are complete and you cannot edit them. When you have posted invoices for all the vendors on a receipt, the receipt is complete and can no longer be changed.
